I won't take "no" for an answer, my eyes are set on you

And it'll take much more than a mouthful, to tell you how much I love you

But even when I strike out on my own, I trickle down

To leave this world alone, I filter out

And I'm no different than anybody else, walkin' downtown

I live my life for a reason, to spread my wealth around

To make music and love and lift consciousness up, it's a feeling, yeah, and every time that I'm around

But even when I strike out on my own, I trickle down

To leave this world alone, I filter out

And I'm no different than anybody else

Noel, do tell, I know you, too well

Noel, do tell, I know you, too well

And you're no different than anybody else

Walkin' downtown

But even when I strike out on my own, I trickle down

To leave this world alone, I filter out

And I'm no different than anybody else

Noel, do tell, I know you, too well

Noel, do tell, I know you, too well

And you're no different, and you're no different

Oh, darlin', Jimmy packed his bags and went away

Oh, darlin', it didn't have to be this way...
